Spicy Orange Msp
hey everyone unfortanetly i got cut off by a femal driver and i messed up my fender, bumper, headlight and foglight... insurance should cover it still waiting on the report. but i decided that instead of going back to the 03 mazda speed bumper if it was possible to put the 03.5 bumper on my orange msp???? now i also have to take into account how the autoexe grill would look with it because i also have that which i have not yet put on. what do you guys think?
 
I think women are bad drivers. ;)
The same happened to me in my P5 last year. But it did get me into a speed so....I guess the girls are alright. :D
 
it would be possible, remembering the 03.5 bumper is not just one piece. you'd have to get it painted.

Yeah and men are great drivers too!!! :) They never have accidents and they don't have higher insurance either!
(laugh)
 
Yeah, why does it matter if it's a female driver or not? I see dumb ass drivers of every race, creed, ethnicity, and gender on a daily basis.

Sucks to get into any accident. Be safe out there people. Leave as much distance as possible in front of you for said dumb asses - sooner or later, everyone will be cut of..
 
I never understood why our (men) insurance is higher, I always see the girls doing the craziest things while driving. I know that we drive faster and more aggressive, but out of 1000 men and 1000 female drivers, I'd say we have a lower percentage of accidents. Also, have you noticed that girls like to tailgate?! I think it gives them comfort to be closer to another person. I can count a few times where my quick cat-like reflexes have saved me from getting in an accident where "she" turned out illegally in front of me...Sorry Cirielle, it's the truth. I am sure there are several good female drivers (you?), but I have known and seen too many crazy females driving.
No accidents from my part! (knock on wood)
 
the bumper is exatly the same i thought, it was just a small lip thats glued/screwed on the 03.5

Yes, but females usually have minor fender benders and males total their vehicles and insurance companies have to pay out larger settlements for us. How often do you see females posting pics of their totaled cars on here? I don't think i've really seen any at all...LOL.

And like others said above, sex, race, age, etc. doesn't make the damndest difference with how people drive. There are crappy drivers everywhere.
 
I just think in general that most drivers suck. They have no concept of anything at all!!! They ride their brake, they go slow in the left-most lane, they are talking on the phone, smoking a cig, and eating fast food while driving. They go 45 in a 65 zone and 45 in the 25 zone! They speed in a neighborhood where kids play and go slow on the highway!
I have seen many men do stupid things! Hell I have been in some stupid accidents because of men!!! I got hit by a guy while I was walking to school. Why, because he wasn't paying attention! He was stopped I walked from his right side, he was turning right, bammm, hit me hard as crap (i.e. gunned it) and then immediately braked so I flew off the hood and into the other lane of traffic! The other time I was dating a guy and he hit a tree. No traffic at all around, just couldn't go around a slight curvature! Then the dumbass got all upset and broke my cell phone because he needed to make a call! I can't say I am the greatest driver either, but I have seen stupid s*** by men! And women too! Damn if the middle aged broads don't piss me off. Driving a freakin Lexus doing 40 in a 55 in the left most lane oblivious to a person behind them! And they are doing this during rush hour. So all in all, my opinion still is that men and women suck! Not one or the other! Oh and don't get me started on the old people!!!
 
If you don't like old drivers, don't visit Florida. I've seen a guy get out of his car and turn around to grab his O2 tank. Not to mention he was going 35 in a 45 zone where most everybody else goes 55.
 
actually, insurance rates for male drivers are higher because historically (over the last 50 years) there have be substantially more male drivers than female drivers. As time progresses and more and more female drivers get on the road we see insurance rates start to even out. It won't be long now (probably in our children's lifetime) when rates get completly even or rates for women surpass those of men.

And I'd have to agree that imo most women are worst drivers. For example:
Me (driver for 11 years) - 2 accidents, 2 tickets
My fianc (driver for 11 years) - 5 accidents, 7 tickets
 
I guess I'll jump on the threadjacking bandwagon...

I just think that it's in most women's natures to be less aggressive, and that caries into driving. Screw defensive driving, in order to drive defensively you have to be able to drive aggressively and a lot of women don't usually push their driving to the limits that would test their aggressiveness.

Guys do that all the time, we call that idiocy, and yes it does cause for more gruesome accidents, but in some situations it does prepare one for defensive driving (dodging idiots).

But as a whole, idiots driving today could care less about driving, they'd rather be skiing instead of paying attention. People just don't appreciate driving in this country.

I want to make a T-shirt that says "I'd rather be driving" :D
 
ok didnt mean to offend any women drivers or anything but in this case it was a female driver who caused the accident...so anymore opinions on the 03.5 swap? i was planning on putting the angel eye fogs on the 03.5 bumper...i think theyd fit perfect
 
Sorry, just not a big fan of the 03.5 bumper, or the angel eyes fogs. I like the big fogs. But hey, it is your choice.



edit:So, what new idea were you looking for when you got into the accident? :D
